MOD-BLOG RECOMMENDED: "A Republic of Virtue"

I have mentioned The Teaching Company before as a great place to pick up college level courses for listening in the car. I have a 45 minute (each way) commute every day, so I am always on the lookout for intellectually stimulating fare to listen to on the way. But I wanted to point out that one of their BEST series is currently on sale: American Ideals: Founding a "Republic of Virtue" . This course traces the ideas from Ancient Rome which our founding fathers drew upon in designing our own Republic. It is 6 hours of lecture for $25. And all stuff that I did not get in either High School or College courses on American history... and should have!

And if you are local here in CT and know who I am, feel free to just ask to borrow it, as I already own the set.
